Possible reasons why this happens:

  • An update was recently released that changed the game for the worse, causing long-time players to change their review.
  • It's an early access title that's been abandoned by the developer, and is being justifiably review bombed as a result.
  • It was recently included in a bundle, so there's a lot of new players who weren't interested enough to buy the game on its own, but played it after receiving it in the bundle and were unimpressed. I'd give this one the least weight, because often times those are players who just don't like the genre or went in with too-high expectations for a low budget game.

In the case of Oblivion Remastered (not the proper one, the Bethesda one) it seems closer to #2. It has very similar reviews to this screenshot. A lot of people were excited and happy to play it, but as time went on people found that the game was actually moderately bugged and has many progress breaking issues that the devs ignore. I'm assuming that Bethesda released this purely to undermine Skyblivion, but it's clear which dev team cares about what they produce. Side note, the absolute scumbags charge £50 for it. A remaster should never be above £20

the game was actually moderately bugged

Does that mean Bethesda actually fixed 95% of their release bugs?

[–] Hugin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

No it just has only moderately more bugs than the orthogonal instead on a lot more.
